Chris.
This is a very clear fact - that the Light of the Lord's Presence exposes sin. We really should esteem the Lord's Presence in our Churches. Sin in the Church can weaken or even destroy the Church. If Church Leaders have the Fear of the Lord this goes a long way with dealing with sin in the Church. It is very good for Churches to Pray for their Leaders.
